“Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My Righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 (NASB)
There are many reasons why we hold this verse as one of our most frequently recalled verses. Today's verse has been chosen because it has several promises. We will focus mostly on the last one. God promises to uphold His children with His righteous right hand. God can promise this because He is a righteous God. According to common definition, that means that He does what is right. So when He holds us up with His righteous right hand, He does it to help us do what is right. And he will surely do it even when we doubt that He is. We don't naturally always do what is right and God knows that we need His help for that. So lets allow His hand to uphold us, to keep us doing what is right and proper. And let's be sure we do what He prompts us to do, do not fear, do not be anxious, believe in God, trust He will strengthen us, help us and in that way He upholds us and we can rest in the battle. God's hand is righteous and He will never fail.
